Is anyone else worried about it? The situation reminds me so much of the Bryant Johnson one. First we brought him in. We liked him and he liked it here. Then a couple days later, it was reported on ESPN and NFL Network and several other places that he signed a contract to join the Buffalo Bills. Yet, nothing was reported anywhere on the Buffalo Bills website. It was never mentioned in the Chris Brown blog and also was not put up as one of the lead stories. Hell, they don't have him on their roster either. So, whats the deal? Is this another one of those false reporting? Was John Clayton wrong, yet everyone else trusted him so they all reported it? I'm sure it's no big deal because he wasn't that good in Philly. But he's better than Youboty IMO and might compete with Greer, plus he makes it so we don't have to use a 1st rounder on a CB. What do you guys think?
So, what's the real deal with William James?

I don't think it's a big deal. He'll come in this weekend, sign the contract, and that's when it will be up on the official site.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: So, what's the real deal with William James?
ESPN, the NFL Network (and- not so coincidentally- NFL.com), the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, and the Buffalo News have all corroborated James' signing- how is that like the Bryant Johnson situation, where the only "confirmation" was Sirius radio reports from anonymous listeners? That, or "East Coast Sports News," whatever the hell that is- whatever it is, I didn't know that had any reputability.
What's going on with James, it seems, is that he just didn't want to schedule for himself two trips to Buffalo. The OTA's, if I'm not mistaken, start this week and he's going to go to Buffalo to sign the contract AND join the team on the field; I think he felt it was more practical to do it that way.

Re: So, what's the real deal with William James?
Originally posted by Mikey82actually that Bryant Johnson signing was getting reported by everone too, AP, Yahoo, Buffalo News, Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. but they were all connecting it to one source.
Anyway, Bryant Johnson's signing certainly wasn't reported by Adam Schefter, John Clayton, Allen Wilson, or Mark Gaughan- James' was. There's nothing to worry about it regarding the manner, I know that much. Really, he's ours.

Re: So, what's the real deal with William James?
I'll admit am mildly surprised to see it not surface on Buffalo Bills.com as of yet. Though guess because it's not official we'll have to wait. Hopefully it goes up soon as think James is a solid signing and rather have him then a guy like Carr.

The position still needs to be addressed. Just not in round 1 IMO.
